It is singular to refer to the game. However, a shot may be called a billiard and in that case, billiards can refer to multiple shots and would be plural.
No. Trigonometry will have little effect on being able to win at billiards or pocket billiards. A study of physics will do more, but only the simplest bank shots are aided by these sciences. The stroke and alignment are more important, and the knowlege of the more complex factors in the game than trigonometry is needed for complex shots.

It isn't. Geometry is only loosely involved with billiards. Physics has significantly more impact. Geometry can be used to determine single rail bank shots of the simplest types, and can be used to determine ball movement after impact for simple shots. However, rotational momentum, slide, english, rail induced english, and center of mass calculations all impact a shot such that simple geometry is not sufficent for anything other than the simplest shots to determine what will occur.
Billiards is no longer there.
It doesn't. There is no "mat" related to the game of English Billiards or Pocket Billiards.
This depends upon which billiards game - English Billiards is most popular in the UK. Pocket Billiards is most popular in the US.

Billiards is not currently an Olympic sport. However, the ultimate goal of the World Confederation of Billiards Sports (WCBS) is to have billiards included in the Olympic Games. The WCBS applied for inclusion in the 2004 Summer Olympics, but after some consideration, the Greek Olympic Committee ultimately decided against them.

The diamond system in billiards is a method used to calculate aiming points for making shots, particularly in eight-ball and nine-ball. The table is marked with diamonds along the rails, and players use these reference points to determine the angles necessary for banking shots or making precise cue ball placements. By visualizing the line of the shot and using the diamonds as guides, players can improve their accuracy and consistency in striking the target ball or pocketing balls. The system is especially valuable for complex shots where direct aiming might be challenging.
